I am you and you are me.

You anger, you calm, we love, we hold.

You do as I did, and learn better than I learned.

Your blue-grey eyes reflect my own.

I am her and you are me.

You hunger for my love and my approval.

I give it to you freely, as you deserve, never withholding.

Your smile reflects my own.

I am her and you are me.

You scream, you yell, I scream, I yell.

You lament how I will never understand you.

Your heart and what it holds reflects my own.

I am her and you are me.

You hurt, you cry, I anger, I feel helpless.

You wonder why you're not valued by those you hold dear.

Your mind and the demons it holds reflects my own.

I am her and you are me.

I hold you while you weep and remind you of your strength.

You ask me how I know you'll be ok.

Your resolve and tenacity reflects my own.

I am her and you are me.

We argue, you persist, I listen, I concede.

Your points are well made. I feel pride.

Your fire, burning bright, reflects my own.

I am her and you are me.

I sit in solitude, I weep, I hurt, I mourn.

I ask myself why I was not cherished and loved this way.

My trauma and rejection reflects her own.

I am her and she is me.

You smile, you grow, I grow, I heal.

We adventure and flourish and move forward with life.

My growth reflects your own.

I am you and you are me.
